Les troubles de l’oralité alimentaire

Abstract

Oral-facial motor disorders sometimes seem obvious in patients with cerebral palsy, but what about oral disorders? This question will lead us to discuss the act of eating, the meal and the development of the orofacial sphere in its various components: sucking – swallowing – chewing; sensoriality; ventilation; phonation – articulation (though the latter is not covered in this article). We will look at the issue of testing and referral.
